@LLLGB When I became a Mum, I scoured the internet for info on breastfeeding for autistic people and struggled to find anything useful. Over time I've found ways to cope with sensory overload and the need to create a sense of order around feeding, but it's not been easy.

Calling all researchers📢 We're asking you, and others in the research community, to use our new principles and hallmarks of good people-centred research. Why❓ Because they'll help you make sure that people are put first in your research study. 🙌♥️ (1/2)
